WEEKLY GAZETTE County Official Paper. SATURDAY...NOVEMBER 5, 1881 The "Railroad Gazette" contains the following information of the construction of 4,306 miles of new railroad, making 6,340 miles this year, against 4,135 miles at corresponding time in 1880, 2,507 in 1879, 1,422 in 1878, 1,548 in 1877, 1,740 in 1876, 903 in 1875, 1,180 in 1874, 2,897 in 1873, and 5,147 in 1872. This year shows about 1,200 more miles of road thus far constructed than in 1872, the greatest previously recorded. Women are coming to the front as American dramatists. Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, the novelist, has written a play of North Carolina life called "Esmeralda," and it is being acted by a strong company sent out from the Madison Square Theatre. Its chief character is a Southern planter of the old school. Mrs. Mary H. Fiske is the authoress of "Clarice," in which Catherine Rogers is starring. It is described as a drama of no great originality in incidents, but remarkably witty, well constructed, and interesting. Mrs. John C. Fremont is said to be at work on a tragedy which John McCullough may appear in. The case of the United States vs. Geo. Q. Cannon, Congressional Delegate from Utah, in a suit brought to annul Cannon's certificate on the ground of fraud, etc., has been decided against Cannon by Chief Justice Hunter of Utah. The Court held WHATEVER is worth doing at all is worth doing well. That is the maxim which Cashier Baldwin, of the Mechanics' National Bank of Newark, N.J., worked up to; and he stole everything but the safe. He called the bank directors together on Sunday and told them that the bank must suspend. They offered to subscribe half a million to carry on the business, but Baldwin told them that two millions would not be enough. As the last statement made by the bank showed deposits to the amount of $2,-417,000, it will be seen that the Cashier made a clean sweep. The failure is due to his loaning money to Nugent & Co. and other firms without collateral, and their inability to pay. In order to hide his transactions, the books of the bank were systematically falsified. Nugent has been arrested for aiding and abetting the embezzlement. Baldwin is reported to have said, while making his confession to the Directors— “There is no excuse for my misdeeds, and now I see what I ought to have seen years ago. I stand before you to-night a perjurer, forger, falsifier and criminal. I think, gentlemen, that you ought to send for officers and put me under arrest for misappropriating your money and money belonging to other persons. It is your duty to send me to jail, and I only ask one privilege—that of going home to inform my wife and family of my misdeeds. They know nothing about this affair. I never expect to go to the bank again, but, instead, I expect to go to jail, and from there to the State Prison, and there I will have to end my days. If I had not been too much of a coward, I would not have been here to tell you this story to-night. I would have shot myself.” D. L. Love has been three times The case of the United States vs. Geo. Q. Cannon, Congressional Delegate from Utah, in a suit brought to annul Cannon's certificate on the ground of fraud, etc., has been decided against Cannon by Chief Justice Hunter of Utah. The Court held that Cannon's certificate of naturalization was null and void and fraudulent. It sustains Governor Murray in granting a certificate of election to Campbell, the Gentile candidate. This is one of the most important decisions ever made in favor of the Gentiles in Utah, and there is much excitement in Salt Lake over it. Chief Justice Morrison, in the habeas corpus case of Isaac Burke, a saloon keeper of Lake county, convicted in a Justice's Court of violating the Sunday law by keeping his saloon open, has denied the application for a writ and rendered a lengthy decision declaring the law constitutional. The principal points of the decision are that, first, the law is not in violation of the provisions of the new Constitution prohibiting special legislation, as the law existed before the Constitution was adopted. Secondly, the law does not violate that provision of the Constitution protecting religious liberty. These were the main points relied on in the application. Two farmers had a quarrel seventeen years ago at Nankin, Mich., over the location of a line fence. There have since been numerous personal encounters, expensive litigation, frequent removals of the fence at night, and lately a shooting affray. The three clergymen of the town then undertook to effect a reconciliation, but all their pacific arguments were in vain. A distinguished bummer thereupon took up the difficult case. Neither of the farmers was an habitual drinker, yet the mediator in disguise succeeded, after several attempts, in getting them both drunk at the same time. He brought them together in that condition, alcoholic amiability conquered animosity, and then shocked hands; since which occa- D. L. Love has been three times reported killed by Henry Lanier at West Point, Miss., and the last report proves true, the previous announcements having been based on the settled belief of the community that a tragedy was bound to happen. Love was betrothed to Miss Johnson, but she married Lanier instead. Then Love had an offensive explanation printed on the backs of the wedding cards which had been prepared, and sent them to the persons who were to have been invited to his wedding. Lanier demanded an apology, on pain of death, and Love replied in a published card, saying: "I was engaged to Miss Johnson when she married Lanier—had been for some months—and everybody knew it. She received my attentions and presents up to the day before her marriage. She married him without any notice to me, only a few days before the date set for our nuptials, without returning my ring, letters, presents etc., and has not yet returned the presents she accepted from me the day before her marriage, nor my letters, etc., and all the explanation I have is her note, received after marriage, which began by saying that I should no doubt be surprised (and I was) to learn that since she saw me Tuesday night she had concluded to marry another fellow; and she did Thursday. All my statements are facts, and I can substantiate them, and others besides myself know them to be true. Mr. Lanier has known all these facts since the day after his marriage, but I have received no intimation of his killing me, and don't expect to." The murder was committed, nevertheless, and the bridegroom is a fugitive. The rate of taxation in Kern county is increasing every year, which unfortunate state of affairs leads the local paper to remark that "the people expected relief when the new Constitution was adopted, but in that dertook to effect a reconciliation, but all their pacific arguments were in vain. A distinguished bummer thereupon took up the difficult case. Neither of the farmers was an habitual drinker, yet the mediator in disguise succeeded, after several attempts, in getting them both drunk at the same time. He brought them together in that condition, alcoholic amiability conquered animosity, and they shook hands; since which occasion there has been peace. We are in receipt of a circular from the State Board of Health asking us to call attention to the fact that small-pox comes at quite regular intervals, and now California is in danger of a visitation of the scourge. It urges re-vaccination as a strong sanitary measure. The Board has taken steps to overhaul the emigrant trains and quarantine cases of disease beyond the American river bridge. The circular says that most of the cases thus far come from Chicago, conveyed by immigrants. The Board recommends the following disinfectant for use in a house or room: For this purpose sulphur is used. The rule is to take roll sulphur broken into small pieces, place it on a metallic dish resting upon bricks set in a tub containing water, or upon other supports laid across the tub; pour a little alcohol upon the sulphur and ignite it. Then immediately leave the room. Let the doors and windows be tightly closed, and kept so for half a day. Then ventilate the apartment for several hours. One pound of sulphur is advised for 1,000 feet of cubic air space, or for a room 10 by 10, by 10 in height. The furniture and paint about the room may be subsequently washed and the walls whitened. The rate of taxation in Kern county is increasing every year, which unfortunate state of affairs leads the local paper to remark that "the people expected relief when the new Constitution was adopted, but in that they have been disappointed." To which our neighbor, the "Express," very correctly responds that it is not to be expected that the Constitution could set aside the legacy of debt which official rascality had bequeathed that county. This is a very remarkable admission for a paper to make which in the Constitutional campaign asserted that the new law would not only perform such minor miracles as to reduce taxes one-half, but would furnish every spinster with a husband, cure freckles of five years' standing, drive out the Chinese, cure the ruptured and enable them to throw away their trusses, provide employment for those who were not willing to work—in short make California a Garden of Eden, in which the citizens could partake of the apple of life without danger of seeing snakes. If Anaheim Landing becomes the property of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, the vineyardist who makes 20,000 gallons of wine this year will be required to pay $200 more for shipping his wine to market than he would if the Landing is kept open in opposition to the Wilmington monopoly. The moment Stanford or Banning gets control of the lighters, freight on wine will advance a cent a gallon, and then, dear reader, you will wish you had been more liberal. RESOLUTIONS. Adopted by the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Water Company. WHEREAS, The recent acquisition by the Anaheim Water Company, of a reservoir which has been pronounced by experts to be the largest and most perfect natural storehouse for irrigating water in Southern California, and which will assist in bringing under cultivation many thousand acres of fertile land which must otherwise have remained untouched by the plow for a long time to come, marks the beginning of a new era in this part of the county, and bids fair to bring to speedy fruition the hopes of those who, in the darkest hours, have ever maintained that Anaheim was but the nucleus around which would ultimately spring up a large and flourishing community. And as this property has been acquired by the Company through the munificence of Mr. Daniel Kramer, it is proper that public acknowledgment should be made of their appreciation of his generosity, therefore be it Resolved, That by making a gift of this land to the Company, for reservoir purposes, Mr. Kramer deserves the gratitude, not only of the citizens of the locality immediately and directly benefited, but of the people of the whole county, for the prosperity which will certainly flow from a proper and speedy utilization of his gift cannot but add materially to the reputation and wealth of the entire county. Resolved, That in all future transactions between Mr. Kramer and the Anaheim Water Company, the Directors are enjoined to remember the obligations under which the corporation has been placed through Mr. Kramer's generosity, and to extend to him every favor consistent with the conscientious discharge of their trust. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to Mr. Kramer under the seal of the corporation, and that they be published in the Anaheim Gazette. (Signed) B. DREYFUS, F. HARTUNG, F. A. KORN, ERWIN BAER, RICHARD MELROSE. Julia Farrel, aged 65, fell down a flight of stairs at North Beach, San Francisco, on Tuesday and was killed. She was intoxicated. Hans Anderson, a blacksmith of Mandocine, received what is thought to be a fatal stab on Sunday at the hands of John Robinson. Gov. Cullen, of Illinois, has by proclamation prohibited the importation into the State of any cattle from the infected districts of the Eastern States. Mrs. Cora Bernard of San Francisco was burned — it is thought fatally — while carrying a lighted coal oil lamp from one room to another, the lamp having exploded. Mrs. Ida Gordier of Calaveras valley, the well known equestrienne, was arrested on Wednesday on a charge of assault to murder on complaint of Martin J. Penton, an Alviso farmer. He alleges that on Tuesday afternoon, while passing the Gordier residence, he was acosted by Mrs. Gordier, who asked if it was true that he had been making remarks calling her reputation in question. Receiving an affirmative answer, she fired two shots from a shotgun, but without effect. Gordier, her husband, is under arrest for battery on Penton growing out of the same affair. Louisville (Ky.) items of Oct. 31: Sanders, in jail at Lexington, charged with beating his wife, hanged himself in his cell. At the same place Celia Singleton, a negro girl, poured carbolic acid down the throat of a five-year-old child of Jacob David, killing it. The girl was arrested. Nine prisoners, mostly moonshiners, escaped from jail at Lebanon on Sunday night. They went by the tunnel route. ABBEYVILLE, S. C., Nov. 1.—Jeff Davida, who was convicted of murder here six years ago, was yesterday acquitted on a new trial and set at liberty. It is one of the most remarkable cases on record. Davida is a negro, seventy years old. He was convicted of the murder of his former master, an old white farmer, and has a maiden sister who lived near Indog's Springs, in this county.

NEW GOODS! At Garden Grove Store. WESTMINSTER ITEMS. We are indebted to Mr. T. C. Hull who at considerable trouble obtained the information, that 11,262 sacks of barley and 3,188 sacks of wheat were threshed during the past season on this colony. This is the account of one thresher only, so it is not the total amount threshed. Some have the impression we raise no grain here; this item will we think refute the idea. Mr. Squires returned from San Francisco on Friday evening last. We have not heard if he intends replacing his burnt store. Mr. Hull Sr. has also returned looking as hale and hearty as ever. Rev. F. L. Robinson was the recipient of a surprise and donation party on Tuesday evening when a pleasant evening was passed. Mr. H. Wayman was burning weeds on Monday last when suddenly a strong breeze sprung up and the fire got beyond his control, leaping a considerable distance and destroying a load of hay, wagon and header bed, also some baled hay. Plowing and seeding are still progressing. Several parties from here are about to seed a large acreage on the Centinela Rancho. The Good Templars propose giving an entertainment on the Friday after Thanksgiving Day. A brother of Mr. McFadden is expected here next week from the East; he brings his family and intends locating here. —The county Teachers' Institute convened on Monday. In his opening address, Superintendent Hinton said that he saw evidences of progress, both educational and material. The attendance based on the census report was about the same as the preceding year, but there was one notable fact in this matter which deserved attention. Out of 10,609 census children there were 3,959 who will not attend school at all. Some steps should be taken to have those children placed under the influence of the school room. During the past year the railroad companies had failed to pay their portion of the county tax. The suits had happily been decided in favor of the county, so the $5,000 deficit in last year's apportionment would be paid into the school fund. Three new districts—Rosedale, Mountain View and Silverado had been formed, and four new school houses had been built. Thirteen other districts had also voted to build new caped from jail at Lebanon on Sunday night. They went by the tunnel route. ABBEYVILLE, S.C., Nov. 1.—Jeff Davids, who was convicted of murder here six years ago, was yesterday acquitted on a new trial and set at liberty. It is one of the most remarkable cases on record. Davids is a negro, seventy years old. He was convicted of the murder of his former master, an old white farmer, and has a maiden sister who lived near Indog's Springs, in this county. The evidence upon which the accused was convicted was entirely circumstantial, but pointed so clearly to the accused as the slayer, as to leave but little room to doubt his guilt. Since his conviction he has mounted the scaffold five times, prepared to meet the penalty of the law for his alleged offense. On one occasion the noose was adjusted about his neck, and the Sheriff stood ready to pull the trap and give him the fatal fall. Five minutes later this would have been accomplished, but a messenger, covered with dust, galloped up to the spot, halloing to the officers to hold on, and driving his rowells into his steed as he rode. The respite he bore from the Governor was received just in the nick of time. Davids always persisted in denying his guilt. He had remained an inmate of the jail so long that he had come to like prison life. When he was acquitted he bade the jailor a tearful farewell. The old man said that he would rather continue in custody, if it would be permitted. He could not do so, and left with manifestations of regret. BORN. In Anaheim, Oct. 29th, to the wife of E.
